Cinnamon Crashed
by Kitai from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y3Z3)
After replacing graphics card, get following message on start up:
Cinnamon crashed, running in Fallback Mode, do you want to restart Cinnamon? If you press yes, the message just keeps returning.
I did: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
and received following:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-current : Depends: nvidia-304 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Do not understand this. Any assistance is appreciated.
